Did you notice how they say if you don't you'll be committing a 'big sin'?

Are they planning on getting together like they are doing around the world?

This is very important if they are.

Sounds local, but you never know..

More from the flyer:

Newsweek is being attacked by the neocons whose ultimate aim is censorship and a curtailment of freedom of the press.

Remember the one thing that they can not endure is E X P O S U R E.

The Bush Administrations' side show can not be allowed to shift the attention from the fact that Newsweek is not the cause of the Muslims' righteous indignation over the desecration of the Word of The Almighty, nor the cause of the assaults against Islam which have become institutionalized policy of the current administration.

Let us not forget that Condoleeza Rice was promoted, partially as a result of her success in distorting the Quranic enlightenment regarding the conduct and the dress of Believing women. Esquire magazine, in fact, reported that the Secretary of State was heralded as a mistress of deception through the release of daily misinformation concerning the Taliban's treatment of women in Afghanistan, which was instrumental in the propaganda offensive leading up to the war of aggression that was launched in that nation.

The same people who are attempting to set Newsweek up as a scapegoat in their nefarious scheme to silence all opposition, particularly in the Free Press, are feigning outrage at the reporting of their actions and attempting to label that reporting as the cause of the trembling that is shaking the earth!

Contrary to White House spin, the allegations of religious desecration at Guantanamo published by Newsweek on May 9, 2005, are common among ex-prisoners and have been widely reported outside the United States.

Several former detainees at the Guantanamo and Bagram prisons have reported instances of their handlers sitting or standing on the Koran, throwing or kicking it in toilets, and urinating on it. Prior to the Newsweek article, the New York Times reported a Guantanamo insider asserting that the commander of the facility was compelled by prisoner protests to address the problem and issue an apology.

One such incident (during which the Koran was allegedly thrown in a pile and stepped on) prompted a hunger strike among Guantanamo detainees in March 2002. Regarding this, the New York Times in a May 1, 2005, article interviewed a former detainee, Nasser Nijer Naser al-Mutairi, who said the protest ended with a senior officer delivering an apology to the entire camp. And the Times reports: “A former interrogator at Guantanamo, in an interview with the Times, confirmed the accounts of the hunger strikes, including the public expression of regret over the treatment of the Korans.” The toilet incident was reported in the Washington Post in a 2003 interview with a former detainee from Afghanistan:

“Ehsannullah, 29, said American soldiers who initially questioned him in Kandahar before shipping him to Guantanamo hit him and taunted him by dumping the Koran in a toilet. ‘It was a very bad situation for us,’ said Ehsannullah, who comes from the home region of the Taliban leader, Mohammad Omar. ‘We cried so much and shouted, “Please do not do that to the Holy Koran.”’ (Marc Kaufman and April Witt, “Out of Legal Limbo, Some Tell of Mistreatment,” Washington Post, March 26, 2003.)
